Seriously WHSmiths, £3.29 for one small bottle of coke?

4-4–2. A glorious performance and a chance to catch up with family and old friends. We’ve gone toe to toe with the top two and look like contenders #WatfordFC

Coming home to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975 bodes well for the weekend ahead

After a six-month wait, the Tobacco & Vapes Bill is being debated again in Parliament. We've signed Action on Smoking and Health's open letter urging all political parties to ensure that this legislation is now passed as quickly as possible ash.org.uk/uploads/cros...

👍 the smart thing about this legislation is that it doesn’t stop adults who are legally able to smoke now from doing so - though we obviously need to support programmes that help people who want to quit

Hi Jamie, no imposition on you, I’m supportive of measures that will mean my children will never legally be sold tobacco. I also work for cancer research uk and I can tell you, beating cancer isn’t boring. 👍

Health leaders call for Tobacco and Vapes Bill to be passed swiftly The Bill will be scrutinised in the House of Lords from Monday as it enters committee stage.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill received the overwhelming support of MPs in the House of Commons

Now it's time for Members of the House of Lords to play their part in supporting this landmark piece of legislation that will help achieve a smoke free generation

Peer trying to derail UK smoking ban discussed bill with relative at tobacco firm Lord Strathcarron says he and an in-law ‘high up’ at British American Tobacco discussed bill, which he aims to weaken

It’s Committee Stage of the Tobacco & Vapes Bill in the Lords tomorrow.

To aid transparency it would be very helpful if all Peers declared any interests or association with the tobacco industry before speaking #SmokefreeUK

Rachel Reeves has lots of budget levers: which ones will she pull? The chancellor looks likely to break Labour’s manifesto pledge of not raising income tax on November 26. She will then have to stand well back

This is helpful pre budget speculation for UK life sciences

“quick and simple visas for world-class scientific talent, might help balance out the doom and gloom.”
